Accessing portal content with bookmarkable URLs+Parameters

[jvence]

I know that this topic has been addressed in the past but it seems that most threads deal with older versions of JBoss and Portal.

I want to: Allow users to bookmark pages URL with parameters

So for example:
http://localhost:8080/portal/portal/default/Community?topic=2323

Will load the Community page showing content related to topic 2323.

My questions is how do I pass these parameters to a portlet residing on the 'Community' page.

Websphere seems to have developed a custom-made URI resolver (see http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0710_koeth/0710_koeth.html)
which also simplifies the bookmarkable URL.

Anything like that exists for JBoss+Portal

Thanks,

Jean

One possible way is to define a new PortletCommandObjectFactory (declaration in jboss-service.xml)

This way, you can analyse your url ant set render parameters of your portlets.

We use this technique to give direct access to contents in our portal.
